Would you refuse to discuss issues with people who dont agree with you?

Hi krupesh, I'm with Sandra and Akuler on this one, happy to discuss, don't mind disagreement but don't come at me in a confrontational style and start shouting at me, it will spoil my mood. I would exit such a topic before it became insulting as I don't believe in conversing with people who show no respect or manners. I like to see different views and opinions but don't wish to be preached.

Having discussion with someone who disagrees to your point is exciting and most of all very helpful. Though it might end up either in worst case, or perhaps both arriving at a common belief, its totally challenging. I do believe that a discussion in this manner gives both sides the chances to weigh the pros and cons of the matter being discussed. No matter how long it might take, or how worst it ends, at least towards the end of the day, or after you part ways, you can have something to think about by yourself. The more the other side opposed to your views, the greater chances you can measure the validity of your claim. I think its all about "Pride" at first, where no one wants to give up on their stand. But it will eventually tweak both your stand about the matters of disagreement.

In my opinion, differences in opinion only make a discussion more interesting. If the other person cannot, however; discuss the issue without being nasty, I find the discussion to be fairly useless. I think that a discussion where there is a difference of opinion can be interesting and even educational if done int he right manner.

Discussion is possible if both the parties have some doubts and want to get clarified.If both of them have a clear cut idea and trying to persuade the other,then only this disgust,insult,disrespect,pulling legs,etc...will happen.So,it is not wise to continue any fight in the name of discussion.Just give up to end it.Cheers!

I love healthy discussion, and the more opposed the views are the better the discussion should be - as long as everyone argues effectively without getting personal. If someone behaves in a rude or disrespectful manner, they are not looking for a discussion, they just want to impose their views on other people. I keep well away from that sort of person, on Mylot and out in the real world. I don't have time to waste on idiots.

Hi krupesh, We discuss something to reach some agreement. So there will definitely some disagreement before that. We all have our own opinion about the topics and sometime it is not the same with other people. So if you ask me whether I will keep the discussion with someone that don't agree with me then I will say yes. But if the disagreement change to insulting, name calling, full of smear, I will see where do I discuss it. It that discussion is a face to face discussion, I will continue it. The is more possibility to reach some solution when we had face to face discussion. But if that discussion is in online forum, I will leave it when its become worst. I didn't see anybody can get anything out of it anymore.

I would prefer to discuss issues with people who are in complete disagreement with me. I believe it's more fun and challenging to talk to people who have different views and opinions. It's also more interesting than talking to people who agrees with you. There are also times when it's fun to discuss things with people you agree with.

I would definitely keep discussing with the person who doesn't agree with my opinion, because isn't that kind of the whole thing of discussing? Seeing different points of views. I like it when people have different opinions than me, because than I get to see where they are coming from and why they are so strong about it. If the person of cause is starting to insult me, then I would not continue the discussion, rate every post with insults he gave to me negative, and report him or her to mylot.

no. if you only discuss things with people that agree with you, then you will never get anywhere. if everyone just agreed with each other than where would we be in this world? no one knows if they're right. maybe you're sure right at this moment that you are, but later you may see or hear something that will change your mind. We need to always check and double check what we think again and again. Always doubt yourself. If the people you are having a discussion with are being disgusting, insulting, etc then don't bother with them. when people have nothing important to say or can't defend what they say, they attack. Don't waste your time with them.

I would not refuse to discuss with people who have different opinions. I think it’s the reason we need to discuss. If we all have same answer why we discuss? Also I know different people from different background have very different opinions about one thing. So it’s a good way to know others cultures and logics. I will cherish the opportunity. But I know sometimes people are too excited when they meet different people so I should pay attention on that and always keep calm and polite when it happens.

Hi krupesh I will continue to discuss because I love a good debate every now and then , but to do this with someone that is taking things to another level makes no sense to me, not like they are looking to get anything out of this discussion but a fight, I will walk away from them If you do not agree with some people they will get angry, this to me is crazy, only tells me that person has so much to learn,I am not the one to teach them I don't have the patience.
